BMW Art Cars

Since the 1970s, the German auto manufacturer BMW has asked select artists to paint/design their automobiles- including Frank Stella, Andy Warhol, and Roy Lichtenstein. The latest of the artists that have been able to participate in this art-meets-auto tradition is Jeff Koons. Koons just unveiled his design concept for the car that will go on to the annual 24-hour endurance race at Le Mans, France.
